That's the idea exactly. The northern
press and people, like the bondholders aud
their agents and abettors, think that the
people of Virginia are willing to pay as
much as few men in easy circumstances
are willing TO pay. We know not how
these mistaken persons can be made to see

The Failure to Settle.


The LInchburg dduonce, which up %
the latest moment advocated the acceptance
OF any reasonable terms. says:
"But II it is not, aud no adjustment l.
reached, It will be q sad day for the bond
holders. whose greedy pound OF 1esh they
demand will be the last drop OF blood that

Its day; and II the present bondholders
can't profit by the example, then repudia-
ton will come next. regardless of what the
supreme and other courts Of the United
States may decide to the contrary.
The Cdnch- Valley NelrS says:
"li the naughty English toss their heads
In contempt, and declare for war, we are
ready. The English tried that game aboul
acentury ago, when Virginia Was acolony.
But NirginIan at Yorktown brought down
that baughty look and brought England 10
his feet, and received the sword OF Corn

Government. Ii this occasion passes with

The above paragraphs were pcnned be-
fore the failure to settle was announced,
but that fact renders them none the less ap-
plioable 10 the present condition OF things.
